International Cup 2008

The Warrnambool leg of the 2008 International Cup has been completed, with New Zealand and Papua New Guinea securing a place in Friday's Grand Final. The match is a repeat of the 2005 Grand Final, with Papua New Guinea also partaking in the 2002 final against Ireland.

As was expected, Round 4 provided much closer scorelines than the first three rounds, and whilst there were a few comfortable victories, there were no thrashings. Furthermore Finland and the Peace Team registered their first victories.

Friday concludes the 2008 International Cup. Apart from the Grand Final (curtain raiser to the Hawthorn vs Western Bulldogs AFL match at the MCG) classification matches will be held for the other teams to determine overall finishing positions and placings at future tournaments.
